Shape Your Fate In Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave This September

Nintendo revealed the release date for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave — September 17th — and more details about the game. It will take the series into an anime tournament-arc, centered on the Heroic Games in which the winner is granted a wish by the gods. Four protagonists—Cai, Theodora, Dietrich, and Leda—fight for their own dreams in tactical RPG action, and the game appears to let you eventually choose one hero to guide through the tournament; I’m looking forward to the weeks of fandom conversation about which one has committed war crimes the least (spoiler: it’ll probably be none of them).

As in previous Fire Emblem games, players can step away from the main story to explore the world. Between battles you can recruit NPCs, hone skills in a practice arena, or go exploring to find treasure and weapon upgrades. Sothis from Three Houses also seems to have returned with an updated look, perhaps to impart more godly boons to her chosen champions yet again.

I’m hoping for a series refresh after the underwhelming Fire Emblem Engage.
